I've been looking around for new suspension for my 2000 Honda Civi Ex. I've been looking at the Skunk2 Pro S II coilovers and the Tein street advance coilovers My price range is probably $650-$700 max. I want something that will last and also give me a decent ride for being on coilovers. I'd really like to get yellow Koni's with ground control sleeves but I can seem to find anywhere that sells the shocks for less than $500 and then the ground control is like $350. Any other seguestions and info would help. Thanks

 

Tein SA's are nice. Soft...but very nicely damped.

Koni/GC is an excellent overall setup that has some drawbacks for daily use. I think for purely a street driven suspension, the Tein SA is a better choice. Better corrosion protection, more simple, better/similar ride.

Skip the Skunk2

 

I've been told a whole bunch of different things about skunk2 and then some suggested tein street basics but I'd rather spend a little more for their better coilovers. I'm not expecting the perfect ride from whatever I get but I've riden in some cars that were lowered with coilovers and the ride was so stiff and horrible. I do really like the tein coilovers.
